Next year’s World Water Congress & Exhibition in Copenhagen was a vital opportunity to learn about the Nordic water challenges and solutions and bring together core water sector groups such as those focused on urban water services and urban water management. This will still be the case, but now the Congress will be held in September 2022 instead.

“The past year has been a challenging one for many of us due to the pandemic. One consequence of these difficult circumstances has been the postponement of a number of IWA events. Unfortunately, IWA have now had to take the difficult decision to further postpone the May 2021 World Water Congress & Exhibition (WWCE). This will now be held in Copenhagen in September 2022 instead,” said Kara Vairavamoorthy Executive Director, IWA.

IWA hopes that making the decision to postpone the WWCE gives participants, exhibitors, sponsors, and speakers a greater degree of certainty, and helps to enable their attendance in 2022.
